I live in Springfield, mo and we have had another ice storm. My car is now frozen to the ground. My concern is for my tires the ice and slush that has my car adheared to the ground, and is preventing me from being able to get in is just to the bottom if not above my rims on all for wheels and I am wondering if my tires are going to be damaged by this? Thanks to anybody that can offer some insight.

I doubt they are frozen to the ground. If you put the car in Drive im sure you will find you are quite mobile. No the cold is not going to damage them.

i think i got an ice prob too. my tire pressure sensor has been going off. i checked all 4 tires and they where at 33 psi, except for 1 my left rear was at Zero!!! i could not get a read. but the tire did not look flat. so i got her inside to warm her up and sat with a blow dryer (not too close) to the tire. after 30min-1hour i got a read for 15psi. not the best but i think it was still to cold, i would have stayed out longer but i was freezing! and what i recomend you do is take some road salt a put it around the tires, but i also think that it you put it in drive it will go no problem.

the south sounds pretty good right about now. I hope that the sun is going to be out tomorrow like they say so I can get in my car. I have to walk by and look at it just sitting there. At least we have power this year.
